				Exploration has always been the priority in MGIG's growth strategy. Our exploration team consists of more than 150 professionals who are mainly based in different parts of Africa and Australia. <br>
				<br>
				 The process of gold mining from exploration to production takes an average of 8 to 13 years.

				<h2>Stage 1: EXPLORATION</h2>
				<br>
				<p>
					<strong>Duration:</strong> 3 – 5 years <br>
					<strong>Objective: </strong>To determine the existence of the minerals <br>
					 During the exploration phase, ground sampling will be conducted. And at the same time, our exploration professionals will also initiate talks with the local community to establish a better understanding of their needs and environmental concerns. <br>

				<h2>Stage 2: DEVELOPMENT </h2>
				<br>
				<p>
					<strong>Duration:</strong> 3 – 5 years <br>
					<strong>Objective:</strong> To study and design the viability of the mining area <br>
					 During the development stage, feasible studies are conducted to ensure the mining process is economy viable. This includes the mining method, mineral recovering process and closure consideration. <br>
					 Extensive environmental tests and experiments are conducted to generate a series of data for the submission to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) through the local authority.

				<h2>Stage 3: CONSTRUCTION &amp; TRAINING</h2>
				<br>
				<p>
					<strong>Duration:</strong> 2 – 3 years <br>
					<strong>Objective:</strong> To construct mining and infrastructure facilities according to the approved design. <br>
					 Hiring trained and responsible local residents and stakeholders is MGIG's top priority. Trainings and education will be provided to ensure that the construction team works using environmental friendly methods.

				<h2>Stage 4: MINING &amp; PROCESSING </h2>
				<br>
				<p>
					<strong>Duration: </strong>10 – 40 years of lifespan, averagely <br>
					 All the mining that MGIG is involved in is strictly environmental friendly and comply with the local and international standards. <br>
					 From time to time, the employees are required to undergo relevant practical and theory courses, to increase healthy and safety working environment. <br>

				<h2>Stage 5: RECLAMATION &amp; CLOSURE </h2>
				<br>
				<p>
					During this stage, research will be executed to identify the best reclamation practice. Although reclaimed mines are not profitable to the company, it is of utmost importance to turn it into a productive ecosystem.
